A master's job is
never done, it lives on through the ages.
The Annual Installation of Officer's was held on January 5th and musical selections were played by Mr. John Burke on the organ. The installation was attended by a large crowd and the new Master introduced his wife and family. Refreshments were served in the dining hall.
On February 14th Bro. Clyde L. Gibson was presented with his 50 year pin by Bro. Sam E. Dollar the Inspector of the District. Several schoolmates and friends of Bro. Gibson attended the event and were all present to congratulate him. Many insights were gathered in the early years of Clovis Lodge from Bro. Gibson.
In May a vote for new carpet passed and it was decided to re-carpet the Lodge room. Bro. John Polson was enjoying his 25th anniversary of his being Master of Clovis Lodge. He invited all of the men who were raised in 1938 to dinner at his expense and they had a great dinner and a very good social time.
In July there was another third degree at Big Creek and the degree team from the Southern California Edison Company performed. This was a fine degree and the dinner before hand was also very good. The carpet was also installed in the Lodge room and looked very nice.
The annual picnic was held at Kearney Park and was attended by about 125 people and everyone had a very good time.
The constitution talk for this year was held on September 26th and Bro. James Evans Past Master from Selma Lodge gave a fine talk about the constitution of the United States.
On November 26th Past Master Harold Fine passed away suddenly in Clovis. Services were held on November 30th. Kind words spoken were, "Brother Harold will be greatly missed by his Masonic Brethren and his many friends here in Clovis, where he spent practically all of his life. It can surely be said that he not only knew the Masonic work ritualistically, but exemplified the principle's and tenet's of Freemasonry in his daily life."
Brother Sharer continues to guide Clovis Lodge with his amiable ways and always has time to give a helping hand to raise a fallen brother. His efforts may not always be seen but they are always felt. He is truly unselfish with his time, efforts and energy. An example worthy of all imitation.
